"I can't believe I'm talking about this."īut those viewers inclined to question everything - a piece of advice Sargent offers while speaking to a Nightline correspondent in the film - will be tempted to take the Flat Earthers seriously. "First time I ever heard about Flat Earthers was, I think, when I was in space last, and I saw the stuff on social media," he said.

Clark, approaches the subject with a clear scientific point of view.
Yes, those who accept the onslaught of NASA video footage documenting decades of space exploration as real and true will simply be amused by Behind the Curve. "I've received a huge amount of subscribers since this film came out," Steere added.Īlthough she admitted a percentage of those new subscribers could just be internet trolls intending to hate-watch the content she offers, the pair of established stars in the Flat Earth community are both witnessing an old media adage in action: There is no such thing as bad press.

"We're a week after the Netflix release, and my email load doubled," Mark Sargent told Patricia Steere on Wednesday's episode of The Secret Show, a DIY YouTube series that has pumped out 280 episodes to date. In fact, a conversation this week between two of the standout conspiracy theorists featured in the film proves they feel more empowered than ever. Flat Earthers may have accidentally debunked their own absurd theory in front of the documentary filmmakers of Behind the Curve (now available to stream on Netflix), but they're far from defeated.
